Ok, here we go:
Pentium 66:
Ancient Intel Motherboard. The on-board RZ 1000 controller is disabled.
Drives are connected to a Promise ATA100 card. Relevant parts of dmesg:
...
atapci0: <RZ 100? ATA controller !WARNING! buggy chip data loss
possible> at device 1.0 on pci0
atapci0: ATA channel disabled by BIOS
...
atapci1: <Promise ATA100 controller> port

acd0: CDROM <CD-ROM 48X/AKU> at ata3-master PIO4
...
Pentium 200 MMX:
Older Intel TC430HX motherboard. CD-ROM connected to the on-board
controller as secondary master. Harddisk as primary master on the same
type of Promise card. Again an excerpt from dmesg:
...
atapci0: <Intel PIIX3 ATA controller> port 0xff90-0xff9f at device 7.1

ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0

acd0: CDROM <CD-ROM 48X/AKU> at ata1-master PIO4

Dual Celeron 466:
ABit BP6 motherboard. CD-ROM as promary master on the on-board
controller. The on-board HighPoint HPT366 is unused (proved to be
unreliable for UDMA33 and UDMA66). The hard disk is primary master on a
Promise TX2 ATA100 adapter.

ad4: 39082MB <Maxtor 54098H8> [79406/16/63] at ata2-master UDMA100
acd0: CDROM <CD-ROM 52X/AKH> at ata0-master PIO4
...
The message:
ata0-slave: ATAPI identify retries exceeded
vanishes when the CD-ROM is configured as slave. This is probably an
unrelated problem. It seems harmless.
BTW. On the Dual Celeron, when I switch on DMA for the CD-ROM by putting
"hw.ata.atapi_dma=1" in /boot/loader.conf, once the system is installed,
the READ_BIG timeouts do not occur anymore.
Kind regards,
Hans
